Werewolf Wednesday.

A simple illustration of a werewolf character against a sunset background. The sun is setting amongst some mountains, with the silhouette of some tree branches also visible. The werewolf's face is unnaturally shaded, with bright green eyes.

In a few weeks it will be an entire year since I rolled off my last storyboard job in animation. 2026 has been very demoralizing for me, to say the least. I have 7 years of exp as both an artist and PA. Please let me know if anything is staffing up soon! rachelgreenart.com ragreenart@gmail.com

100% agree and what I want to add is that the starting point is learning to critically and analytically understand WHY you like those cartoons/anime that inspire you what is it putting down that you are picking up, why does it resonate with you, how would you use those elements in your work?

It's times like these that, yes, while I would love to get my film done faster somehow, the journey is the point of the process. I love the challenge, the learning curve, the satisfaction of growing and earning the reward through the work you put in, and sharing that with others. Draw in spite!

The only “benefit” to ai in the creative space is speed, and even then there are so many sacrifices in quality that it’s just not worthwhile. Studios are so obsessed with cranking out the next big hit, they refuse to let shows grow and develop at a natural pace. “Incubate,” if you will.

I suspect that the Powers That Be looooove AI because it disengages your brain and softens your thinking. Your free thought, your imagination, gets unplugged and into the socket, the AI node goes. And they control that node. Which means they control your mind. So: they start with kids.
